Memphis Grizzlies at Indiana Pacers Preview & Picks

Memphis are tipped to cover a small spread as they make a winning return to action.

The Grizzlies were a reliable spread bet on the road before the All-Star break, and they have had the Pacers’ number in recent seasons.

  • Memphis Grizzlies are 7-2-0 ATS in their last 9 road games
  • Memphis Grizzlies are 7-0-0 ATS in the last 7 meetings with Indiana
  • The Over has cashed in 8 of Indiana’s last 10 games
  • The Over has hit in 10 of Memphis’ previous 11 road games

Head To Head

  • Indiana Pacers lead the all-time series 33-24
  • Memphis Grizzlies won 136-121 when the two teams last met on December 1

Memphis Grizzlies Form

Memphis return from the All-Star break looking to get back on track after losing two of their final three games before the mid-season pause.

The Grizzlies enjoyed a season-best six-game win streak in January that was eventually ended by a 143-106 blowout loss in New York.

They bounced back quickly though, with a 120-119 win over Houston sparking a four-game win streak.

Memphis then won 132-119 in Milwaukee, 128-109 at home to San Antonio and 138-107 in Toronto, before seeing that run end with a 125-112 loss to Oklahoma City.

The Grizzlies rebounded by winning 119-112 in Phoenix, only to then lose 128-114 at the LA Clippers.

Indiana Pacers Form

Indiana make their return to action looking to build on that come-from-behind victory in Washington before the All-Star break.

The Pacers won four straight during the final few days of January and the start of February, only to then cool off before the regular season was put on hold.

Their run was ended by a 112-89 blowout loss in Portland, and they then failed to build on a 119-112 victory at the LA Clippers.

Indiana were beaten 124-117 at the Los Angeles Lakers, before returning home for a 128-115 loss to New York.

The Pacers did go into the break on the back of a win though, as they battled back to down Washington in overtime, 134-130.

Verdict

Memphis dropped a couple of games before the All-Star break, but they have been a solid spread bet on the road.

They have also covered in each of the last seven meetings with Indiana, winning six times, so we are siding with the Grizzlies in this one.
